Provided by Bev Weidner

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 Italian chicken sausages (about 12 ounces total), sliced on the bias 1/4-inch thick
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
One large Parmesan rind (about 2 1/2 ounces) plus freshly grated Parmesan, for serving
Two 15.5-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed well
1 large lemon (about 6 ounces), half juiced (about 2 tablespoons) and half cut into wedges
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces chopped kale (about 8 cups)
1/3 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, lightly packed, roughly chopped
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large Dutch oven between medium and medium-high heat.

Use tongs to flip the sausage pieces and cook until lightly browned on the second side, about 2 minutes. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the browned sausage to a bowl.

Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape up any browned bits at the bottom. Reduce to a strong simmer and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to come together. Stir in the kale and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove and discard the Parmesan rind. Season the soup with additional salt and pepper if needed.

CHICKEN APPLE SAUSAGE, KALE, AND RICE SOUP



Chicken Apple Sausage, Kale, and Rice Soup image

I had some leftovers in my fridge and needed to make a quick, nutritious lunch for my son who was not feeling well. I managed to get enough mileage from these ingredients for a family of four to eat lunch off of..woohoo! It was very yummy, soothing, healthful, economical, and low in Weight Watcher points (2 points per serving to be exact, 10 points for the whole pot)..double yay!

Provided by hollygollygee

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon coconut oil (or other oil)
1/2 onion, large
1 carrot, large
1 stalk celery
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons herbes de provence, dried
1 sausage, chicken apple (I used Aidell's from Costco)
4 -5 cups chicken broth
2 leaves kale, large
1/2 cup brown rice (cooked)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • fincely dice the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic cloves. I actually put all of these veggies minus the celery in my Vitamix on the #4 variable setting (check the manual for further instructions) and it makes quick work of them. I cut the celery by hand though.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a soup pot over medium high heat.
  • Add the veggies to the oil and stir. Cook until veggies are softened.
  • Add herbs de provence, stir. Turn the heat down if necessary to prevent the veggies from over cooking.
  • Dice the sausage. I use precooked sausage. If yours is raw, you will need to cook it first (I think.I haven't made it with raw sausage). I cut the sausage lengthwise into 8 strips and then cut across to make a small dice. Add to the veggies and cook for a few minutes -- allowing the juices in the sausage to come out and permeate the mix.
  • Add 4-5 cups of chicken broth. I added a whole container of the boxed broth. Bring to a boil.
  • While waiting for the soup to boil, take the stalk out of the kale leaves and chop the leaves into small bits. Add to the boiling soup. Add the rice. Cover and simmer for another 15-20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

DAVE'S ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND KALE SOUP



Dave's Italian Sausage and Kale Soup image

The root of this soup was an italian sausage soup from most popular italian restaurants. I used the first few major tries following their recipes exactly. Then I modified using variations on spicing and then tomatoes. It ended with this deliciously spicy and robust recipe.

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 bunch kale
4 hot Italian sausages
1 large onion, Diced
5 garlic cloves, Diced
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped and seeded
28 ounces diced tomatoes
48 ounces chicken broth
28 ounces water
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon basil
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon Season-All salt
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • This soup uses kale, but you can use any of the major greens you like. I have alternated in kale, escarole, and it has been reviewed with others using spinach. As the first review of this recipe indicates, using multiple pots can be a pain. However, the only reason to use two pots is if you are actually using kale. Other greens that are softer don't require blanching and as a result you can get away with using just one pot.
  • Using two pans, the soup pot and a regular 12 inch sauté pan:.
  • Step 1.
  • In the soup pot:.
  • Rinse the kale well, chopping off heavy stems.
  • While the kale is wet just add to soup pot and add about a quarter cup of water. Blanch the kale leaves in pot, reserve liquid and leave in soup pot for now.
  • Step 2.
  • In the sauté pan.
  • Skin the sausage, split lengthwise while raw with knife, and cut into bite sized pieces, so they look like small meatballs.
  • Lightly brown the sausage (do not cook through) drain and set as aside.
  • Make sure when cooking that you don't burn the sausage as you will be cooking with the sausage grease next.
  • Pour out any grease that will easily drip out, but leave a fine coat of the sausage grease on the pan for your next step and set pan aside for now.
  • If you burn chunks of sausage to the pan, just use a paper towel to wipe out any black crust but leave some of the fat there.
  • Step 3.
  • Once the sausage is set aside take the large pieces of kale and chop into bite sized pieces. Return to the soup pot, keeping any liquid in the pot.
  • Add broth and tomatoes to the pot with the kale and begin to heat on high.
  • Step 4.
  • Sauté onion, garlic and jalapeño pepper into the slightly greasy pan with the 2 table spoons of butter.
  • When onions are slightly translucent or about 3 minutes, add spices to this mixture.
  • Step 5.
  • Add the sauté pan contents to the soup pot and add the sausage to the soup pot. Bring the entire mixture to a boil. After boiling for about 2 minutes, reduce heat to a medium low heat and simmer for about 1.5 hours.
  • Optional:.
  • Option 1:.
  • If you like, add 1 cup of rice to this and at 8 ounces of water while cooking. Suggest you add the rice to the sauté pan and sauté with the onion mix for about 3 minutes before putting into the main soup pot.
  • Option 2:.
  • After soup has simmered for about half an hour alone, add a package of noodles of your choice and the 8 ounces of water.
  • Option 3:.
  • Add 3 Medium potatoes chopped into small pieces while raw, sauté with onions until the potato cubes are soft to the touch. Add to soup pot.
  • Add 3 Medium potatoes chopped into small pieces while raw, sauté with onions until the potato cubes are soft to the touch. Add to soup pot.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and keep your cooking organized.
  • Choose the right sausage: The type of sausage you use in your soup will make a big difference in the flavor. For a mild flavor, use sweet or mild Italian sausage. For a more robust flavor, use spicy or hot Italian sausage.
  • Brown the sausage: Browning the sausage before adding it to the soup will help develop its flavor and add depth to the broth.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Kale is a great addition to this soup, but you can also add other vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Choose a broth that is flavorful and has a rich body.
  • Season to taste: Once the soup is finished cooking, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar for a bit of brightness.

Conclusion:

Sausage and kale soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious sausage and kale soup that your family and friends will love.
